*sorry, no knife, not blade

Some other changes that they are now sticking to: Lettering has to be present on the white areas on the jet pack. - I’ve seen several versions with yes and no on this one No “paint damage” on the belt - I’ve seen most have it but I had to scrape it off mine Do not but a security blade in the...

Because the guide isn’t finished for the ROTJ fett, the local garrison can’t approve it and it goes higher. Nothing I can do other than buy new parts and repaint and hope they like it. The guide changed a few months ago and quite a bit changed. I’m not happy with it but there’s not much I can do

You can also kind of see it here in the left bell on the right side.

It’s the dent on the right side of the bell. For these though I have to repaint. Not orange enough and too weathered. I tried a new weathering technique and thought that may be an issue. Figured that would be called out.

Yep, too much silver damage. I don’t have a way to fix that other than a full repaint.

Well, Super bad news for me. My submission response came back and I pretty much got shredded. Looks like I have to completely repaint my helmet, gaunlets, bells, knees, and most of my jet pack . Along with that I have to refinish my belt and buy new shoulder bells because they had a physical...

Thanks! I didn’t get a chance to take many photos while I was there I’d love to see what everybody else had. It was a pleasure meeting you as well.

Hey, Does anyone have a good way for us to make a repository for celebration boba photos? I thought that media could work but it might get messy. I have a public shared iCloud album if anyone would like to use it. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0cG4TcsmGlQH5m Thanks! Kurt

I just picked up a husky roller and some foam padding. I have found 3 or 4 ways to do it. I’m planning on getting a helmet case so I can keep that separate in the long run. It really comes down to wrapping your hard parts in soft parts, no inuendo implied :) The 50 gallon husky is great. Home...

So I realize I’m jumping a bit, but I hunkered down and finished the suit right before celebration. Here are my submission pics. I will follow up after celebration with some in between steps on the final stages of completion prior to this.

I ended up swapping them with Hvacdon for some FP ones that are much smaller.

I just used JB Weld with four small flat head screws and glued them to the inside of the helmet. Once those dried, I cut four little pieces of stainless steal off a strip and bolted them down. It’s holding it in nice and snug. I could also change it out in about 30 seconds.

I might try to post something in the classifieds tomorrow to see if on a longshot anybody wants to do a swap in case a fettpride one would be too small for someone else. Worst case, I’ll just buy a new set. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

Yeah I’m sitting here staring at them not wanting to cut them. Doing some measuring, even if I trimmed them as close as I can and it works perfectly it’s still too big for my arm.
